Lady Bird

Oscar-nominated, critically-acclaimed Lady Bird is all about the sometimes-difficult relationship between a mother and daughter. Christine, AKA Lady Bird, played by Saoirse Ronan, is a high school senior, who is anxious to leave her life in Sacramento, excited to head off to college where she hopes to find her true self.

This Mother’s Day re-watch the original Mamma Mia! musical to prepare for the sequel that is coming out this July. Mamma Mia! Is the story of a young woman, Sophie, played by Amanda Seyfried, who is about to be married.

Watching Mamma Mia! guarantees lots of laughter, dancing, and singing to all your favorite ABBA classics!

   

 

Terms of Endearment

Terms of Endearment is the 1984 Academy Award winner for Best Picture, which follows the seemingly divergent but intertwining lives of Aurora Greenaway (Shirley MacLaine) and her daughter Emma ( Debra Winger). Aurora and Emma are mother and daughter who march to different drummers. Beginning with Emma's marriage, Aurora shows how difficult and loving she can be. The movie covers several years of their lives during which it seems like the love-hate relationship between Aurora and Emma would last a lifetime — that is, until cancer strikes one of them and ends with heart-wrenching goodbyes.

Erin Brockovich, played by Julia Roberts, is the ultimate no-nonsense single mother of three. Erin Brockovich is a real-life legal activist and an unemployed single mother, who almost single-handedly brings down a California power company accused of polluting a city's water supply.

Through her struggles and triumphs, this superwoman of a mother manages to single-handedly expose the corruption of a multi-billion-dollar corporation, with a baby on her hip. She's an inspiration to moms everywhere!

Max Beesley, Musician and Actor – A Man of Many Talents

 
Max Beesley in the movie Jamestown (2017)

Max Beesley - a man of many talents - was born 47 years ago in a small suburb in the city of Manchester, in the north west of England. Max Beesley may be primarily known for his current role in the British thriller series Mad Dogs, but he also played a big role in the movie Torque and Red Roses and Petrol. Though Beesley has had some lead acting roles in the past-acting was not his first choice.

Many might not know, but Beesley was actually a musician early in his life. He got the inspiration to pursue a musical career at an early age all thanks to his father, who played the drums, and his mother, who was a jazz singer. Before making the official transition to an actor, Beesley was quite a successful musician. He began as part of the choir for the Manchester Cathedral and later moved on to bigger things. And by bigger things we refer to him becoming percussionist and pianist for the well-known British singer, Robbie Williams.

Max Beesley had a good career as a musician, but as we all know he expanded his horizons and became an actor - a decision that we definitely cannot criticize. For this reason, we love to call Mr. Beesley a man of many talents. No matter what industry he goes into, he manages to make it to the top. Thanks to all of his hard work and dedication, he’s managed to work alongside great talent such as Ice Cube, Mariah Carey, Ray Liotta, and Forest Whitaker. A winner will always be a winner, and on this special day that will not change. Happy Birthday, Max Beesley!

Strong Female Leads in Film

 

Throughout history, women in film have traditionally played the damsel in distress, but now women are dominating the big screen as warriors, superheros, and a force to be reckoned with. This Women’s History Month, we want to celebrate the strong females leads that challenge the status quo and inspire women to be strong, confident, and independent. Nakia, Shuri, and Okoye, the powerful women in Black Panther, are all great examples of strong female characters that break gender stereotypes.

Black Panther (2018)

The Wakandan women in Black Panther are the definition of fierce! Nakia, Shuri, and Okoye are tough and opinionated women warriors who give hell to anyone that gets in their way. Okoye (Danai Gurira), the fearsome leader of the kingdom guards called the Dora Milaje, and Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o), a spy passionate for justice and humanitarianism, fight together to defend their country and lead political debate. Of course, they would have not been successful without the help of Princess Shuri (Letitia Wright) who undoubtedly has genius level intellect. She is behind every mind-blowing invention in Wakanda including the Black Panther’s super suit.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

The empowering intergalactic women from Star Wars are a force to be reckoned with! The Last Jedi presents strong female icons such as Rey (Daisy Ridley) and Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher) that fight for the resistance against the The First Order. Rey is the first female lead in Star Wars. As a Jedi, Rey evokes determination and persistence. She proves herself against Kylo Ren, the son of Han Solo and Leia, as she develops her newly discovered abilities. Although her son has been consumed by the dark force, our favorite princess leads the resistance as General Leia. These forceful women not only save the galaxy from the Death Star, they also inspire women everywhere.

Wonder Woman (2017)

Wonder Woman is the superhero that all women need! Because she embodies female strength and ability, the Amazonian warrior, played by Gal Gadot, has always been seen as a feminist character. Not only is she capable of incredible feats of strength, but she also engages in tough combat alongside Superman, Batman, and Aquaman in Justice League. Wonder Woman is also not afraid to be loving and compassionate. She symbolizes the female strength and encourages women to be bold and ambitious. This is why Wonder Woman is an amazing example of strong female leads in film.

Black Panther, Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Wonder Women present fierce women in film. It is truly an inspiration to see strong female leads. From the women of Wakanda to those in a galaxy far, far, away, these female leads ensemble the progressive views of what it means to be a woman and challenge traditional gender roles. Happy Women’s History Month!
